I see clients online and in person on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays between the hours of 8am and 7pm.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted or unable to function day to day? I believe that counselling can be used as a form of 'emotional maintenance' as well as to help overcome some of life's bigger hurdles. Working closely with my clients I help them find their own unique path towards healing and self-discovery, resulting in improved self-awareness, expansion, and growth. Reoccurring life patterns, unwanted behaviours or worries, relationship difficulties, change and loss are all themes which are typically explored.

As an integrative counsellor I can tailor my approach for each and every client. I  help my clients get to know themselves better and to 'reconnect' by uncovering patterns and enabling them to make conscious choices. Even 10 sessions can go a long way when touching on a certain aspect of your life or in terms of gaining self-awareness.

I provide an impartial, professional and confidential working environment working ethically and safely. I am registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and hold a current DBS certificate. In addition to my private practice I also work for Cotswold Counselling, a registered charity offering counselling in the Cirencester area.

Typically clients ask for an initial short telephone call (15-20 minutes) arranged at a mutually convenient time so that they can find out a bit more about how I work and ask any questions. Clients must feel comfortable working with me and this is an opportunity for you to get a 'feel' for the sort of therapist I am. Payment is taken at the time of booking to secure the first session slot and each session can then be paid for separately or in blocks. A session lasts 50 minutes. Most of my clients attend weekly but I am able to offer fortnightly sessions as well. Parking is available. Clients are typically seen for at least six sessions to start and for as long as they feel that it is helpful thereafter. There is no charge for advance cancellation (48 hours). 

After running through how we will work together in more detail, our first session will be spent getting to know each other better and working out what you hope to achieve from counselling. You may not be sure at this stage and that is fine.  Together we will start to tailor a plan based on your needs and expectations. This is all done in a gentle conversational way and the 'plan' is flexible and can be revisited and tweaked at any stage.
